Back when I was on Abilify, I was taking it along with Seroquel, Lamictal, Lorazepam, and propranolol. My pdoc was hoping that Abilify would help reduce paranoia, but also alleviate depression since I was in a Mixed Episode. I started at 5 mg and went up to 15 mg (if I recall correctly), with the hopes of it working since I felt no different on 5 mg.

10-15 mg didn't do anything either, except giving me more agitation and restlessness. Now I'm off of it. This is just my experience though. Everyone is different. I would describe it as "activating." Great for some, but not for me.

Good luck. I hope it works out well for you.
